It’s said that their show was the first rock concert ever held at that venue.

The Beatles’ classic and popular songs (71–80)
Magical Mystery TourThe Beatles
It was used in Apple’s iTunes commercial.
Speaking of Magical Mystery Tour, you could say it’s a culmination of the Beatles’ work.
In Japan, every Beatles song was a hit and has the image of being a classic, doesn’t it?
Penny RainThe Beatles
It might be an era when there are people who don’t know the Beatles.
If so, I want to recommend them all the more.
The Beatles, a band that made history, are a classic, quintessentially British group.
Their unique world—neither quite rock nor pop—captivated audiences around the globe, didn’t it? Words can’t do them justice, so start by listening to some of their famous songs.
The sounds slip effortlessly into your ears and won’t leave your head.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-DaThe Beatles
It’s a reggae-style pop song included on the Beatles’ 1968 album The Beatles.
The phrase “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” was reportedly something a Nigerian conga player performing at a club Paul frequently visited used to say.
It’s a classic that almost everyone has heard at least once, and it seems like a song that could fit a variety of scenes.
A Hard Day’s NightThe Beatles
It’s a song written by John and Paul as a joint composition for the title track of the film “A Hard Day’s Night,” and each of them sings the part he composed.
The title comes from Ringo’s remark, “It’s been a hard day’s night.”
Back in the U.S.S.R.The Beatles
As the opening number of the White Album, this song can be considered a parody of the Beach Boys, imitating the style of Brian Wilson, with whom Paul was close.
Because it’s such an upbeat number, Paul also performs it frequently at his concerts.
The Fool On The HillThe Beatles
This is one of Paul’s signature story-driven pop ballads.
It tells of a man who’s treated like an oddball by everyone and left all alone, yet the lyrics have a kind of detachment.
It’s famous that John—unusually for him—highly praised Paul’s lyric-writing ability here.
Featuring striking recorders and other flutes, the arrangement is simple but vividly colors the world within the story.
When I’m Sixty-FourThe Beatles
A song by Paul included on Sgt.
Pepper’s.
It’s a light, poppy number that’s very characteristic of him.
Around the time Paul was over 60, he reportedly grew fed up with being asked in every interview whether he would sing this song at his concerts.
